Prevacid tablets

Common Questions and Answers about Prevacid tablets

prevacid

Avatar f tn I never need to take that much now, although when I was first tapering off Nexium (which is a PPI like Prevacid), I needed more tablets than I take now. Some days I don't need any. I'm so used to avoiding heartburn trigger foods that acid reflux is seldom an issue for me anymore. You can also get the same type of tablets (basically the same formulation and low price) at several other stores, such as Shopko and K-Mart. At least I've been able to do so. Hope this helps you.
Avatar f tn As the title said, I am a 50 year old healthy female(with normal BMR). I used to have bad heartburn years ago, but was able to treat it with change in diet and prevacid. I actually haven't taken this medication for a few years. Then about a month ago, I started getting heartburn, along with nausea and vomiting. Soon, I also had bitter taste in my mouth. I got prescription for prevacid again from my doc, and I also tried OTC meds(tums, etc), but none of them worked.

Avatar f tn I was eating Gaviscon tablets all night, which helped for about 25 minutes at a time. I have absolutely NO history of stomach issues or even heartburn. I've been taking Prevacid for 2 days and its helping though I still take Gaviscon liquid in the morning and when I go to bed. Today my stomach has been making noises and when the cramps peak, there is a gurgling noise and it feels good, like pressure is being released. Any ideas what this could be or suggestions for natural remedies?
290867 tn?1333569278 When a pharmacist makes a compounded version (liquid) of a medince, usually the precise amount of sodium bicarbonate is not added to the medicine. Therefore, when the medicine is ingested, the natural acid in the stomach attacks the medicine and degrades it before it even has a chance to work...so you're basically not giving any medicine at all. The solutabs already have the correct amount of bicarb and are able to work effectively without being degraded....
Avatar n tn Somewhere around late July, i had found out that i have acid reflux. My doctor had prescribed me Prevacid (Lansoprazole) and told be to take tablets called pepcid complete to help my stomach. For the first couple of weeks, i was doing fine and i had seem to be getting better. Even my eating started to get back to what it used to be. Then, out of nowhere i had gotten sick with a congested nose and my throat was kind of itchy.
Avatar n tn I have constant neusea and blench for 8 months... I am very bad. My diagnosis is GERD, but tablets that were offered by the doctor didn`t help. I can`t live so more.

Avatar m tn The lab tests indicate below than normal Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 (probably due to prolong usage of Prevacid/PPI tablets of 2-3 yrs). Would appreciate your inputs and thanks for your time.
Avatar n tn Heartburn is common while on tx. OTC drugs like Prilosec and prevacid are ok to take.......... Plus it doesn't matter when you take them, not the same with anti-acid pills...........
Avatar n tn My daughter also takes pentasa and WAS taking prevacid. The prevacid didn't seem to help her and our GI switched her to prilosec. My daughter has had no complaints with the prilosec. Both prevacid and prilosec have the same actions so they do the same things. The only interaction that I know of with prevacid and penicillin is with a type of penicillin called Ampicillin and it may inhibit the absorption of the prevacid.
963268 tn?1312900315 Also, inquire whether an acid reducer like Prilosec, Zantac, Nexium, Prevacid is prescribed for you? In the meantime, you can try the OTC-version of the mentioned medications. The concentration of the OTC medicine is usually half of the prescribed medicine. Take one or two tablets to get relief for you.
1094370 tn?1317134825 m swinging back and forth between one OTC Prevacid in the morning and one at night one hour before dinner but it doesn't seem to be helping. Already tried Prilosec and that didn't help either. Taking Gaviscon tablets in between but they do absolutely NOTHING and I really don't know why I continue to take them. Ughhh....Anyone???
Avatar f tn I am having a problem with taking my Prevacid 4 hrs. after Synthroid. Right now my routine is to take Synthroid when I first get up and 6 AM. an hour later eat something void of fiber (usually egg sub.) The 4 hrs. later I take the Prevacid and have another small meal (cereal usually). The problem is something is causing a bad taste to come back in to my mouth sometime after all this and I am thinking it is because the Prevacid really is not being taken prior to eating.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have had a constant burning sensation in my stomach for the past 4 days. It doesn't make a difference if I eat or don't eat the constant pain is their. I have also felt dizzy and light headed and nausous...but have not vomitted. I have also felt extremely tired and been sleeping for the majority of the last two days. I was thinking originally it could have been excess acid in my stomach so took some antacid tablets but those haven't seemed to work.
Avatar m tn I was told to cut back the Prevacid to once a day. My blood work shows no obvious problems. Has prevacid been linked to Osteoporosis? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/236579'>Prevacid and Osteoporosis</a>.
Avatar f tn I just went to the doctor to get blood tests and make sure that my drinking has not already damaged my body beyond repair. My doctor gave me Prevacid for some stomach issues I have been Having. Does anyone know if it is safe to take it when I have been drinking? I am really trying to stop but I am having problems with the withdrawls so I am trying to wean myself off. Any one have any opinions? I would hate to do more damage when I ma trying to correct already done damage.
Avatar n tn Welcome to the gastroenterology community! Did you just start taking prevacid? Have you eaten anything red recently? Are you constipated? Do you have hemmorhoids?
Avatar f tn Now off hydro 5 days, taking prevacid again. I will deal with acid reflux and take my prevacid..Stress does make it flare up really bad...so just maybe I can get it back under control soon...
Avatar f tn I find avomine travel sickness tablets can often take the edge off a bad day and I also use sea bands - an acupressure remedy you put on your wrists.
Avatar n tn My bone density plummeted from 15% above normal to 25% below normal in 6 years (post menopause). Could Prevacid excellerate bone loss. I don't have many risk factors for osteoporosis, no family history. I take Synthroid, Verapamil, Prevacid. I eat lots of dairy, greens, almonds. I exercise daily. I eat a fairly low carb diet, minimal alcohol, caffeine, and cola. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.

Avatar m tn I been put on prevacid and anti sickness tablets but there is no real improvement after taking them for several months. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn He could have allergies even after testing, JANUARY, THAT'S THE BEGINNING OF TREE ALLERGIES.. GOOGLE IT. I also have a horrible cough that leaves me exhausted.. Chest x-rays, mri's, cat scans, allergy tests only show grass, weeds as allergy related. He could have post-nasal drip causing him to cough. Elevate his bed (pillows under mattress) portion. He could also have "reflux" and should try otc prevacid for acid reflux..stay away from spicy foods.
Avatar m tn After taking Prevacid, I gain my appetite back. The problem is, I have develope new symptoms after taking prevacid for 1 week. I am having very loose bowel movements, blood on the toliet paper when I wipe, indigestion, lower abdominal pain. Most importantly is I am having more frequent heartburn and chest pain, which I don't have when I am on the H2 blocker.
